Na maande sonder ’n motor en geen terugvoer van die polisie, is ’n Valhalla-in-woner raadop.
Volgens André Jordaan is die saak reeds verlede jaar op 17 November gemaak na sy ma se motor uit hul erf gesteel is.
“Ons vermoed die motor is weggesleep omdat dit onmoontlik was om die voertuig aan te skakel en die elektriese motorhek was uit sy spoor gelig,” het Jordaan gesê.
Volgens Jordaan bly hulle ongeveer twee blokke van die Wierdabrug-polisiestasie en het hy die oggend toe hulle die motor vermis, dadelik daarheen gehaas.
“Hulle het my verklaring met ’n glimlag en vriendelikheid afgeneem, die saaknom-mer vir my per SMS gestuur en toe het niks verder gebeur nie. Ek het hulle gevra of hulle iemand gaan stuur om vingerafdrukke te neem en hulle het dit bevestig,” het Jor-daan gesê.
Volgens Jordaan het die polisie tot van- dag toe niemand gestuur om vingerafdruk-ke te neem nie.
Jordaan sê hy is gefrustreerd met hul diens en die ondersoekbeampte is glo nooit beskikbaar nie, so ook nie die stasiebevel-
voerder nie.Volgens Jordaan vermoed hulle dat
hul motor twee dae na dit gesteel is, in ’n roof gebruik was by die Little Vikings-kleuterskool, nadat ooggetuies hulle meegedeel het dat die motor van die mis-dadigers presies soos hul gesteelde motor gelyk het.
Jordaan sê hy is moedeloos en die ondersoekbeampte het hom na vele navrae van sy kant af gebel met die vraag, ‘Whatdo you want me to do?’.
“Ek voel as die polisie onmiddellik ondersoek ingestel het, veral na insleep- dienste in die omgewing, aangesien mo-tors gereeld in Valhalla weggesleep word deur diewe, kon my ma, ’n pensioenaris, haar enigste voertuig teruggekry het. Daar was geen ondersoek en geen kontak van die Wierdabrug-polisiestasie se kant af nie,” het Jordaan gesê.
Volgens kaptein Agnus Huma, woord-voerder van Wierdabrug-polisiestasie, word die saak ondersoek en het die ondersoek-beampte Jordaan glo menige kere gekon-tak.
Volgens Huma is daar geen verband tus-sen die gesteelde motor en ander misdaad-voorvalle nie.

Dit kom na hy ’n dry-wende liggaam in die Hennopsrivier opgemerk het toe hy besig was om die gholfbaan skoon te maak.
Hy het agter die liggaam aangehardloop tot waar dit aan ’n stomp in die rivier vasgehaak het.

SPCA denies cruelty claimsNatalie Grobler and Suzette van Huyssteen
Two animal rights organisations are at loggerheads following alle-gations of what borders on animal cruelty against the SPCA.
Activist group Animal Aware-ness, came forward last week with what they deem to be undeniable proof of animals being left to bleed to death following blood donations and animal euthanasia, without wait-ing the required seven days.
The ‘proof’ includes the testimo-nies of former SPCA employees.
The SPCA, however, rejects the allegations and claims numerous re-quests to provide more information for them to properly investigate Ani-mal Awareness’ allegations, fell on deaf ears and until such information is brought forward, the allegations remain exactly that.
According to Karin Smit from Animal Awareness, what should be a safe haven for animals, is fast becoming a death camp. “Our mis-sion isn’t to close the doors of the SPCA, but we are forced to expose what is really happening.”
According to the NSPCA op-erational manual, animals donat-ing blood should be healthy and already identified to be euthanised. It seems, however, this policy is not being properly enforced.
According to a former SPCA employee who wishes to remain anonymous, animals are allegedly picked at random to donate blood and are then ‘left to bleed to death’.
“Some inspectors usually do not confirm that the dogs they select are earmarked for euthanasia and they usually pick the larger breeds
as they provide more blood.” The source said in terms of the policy, dogs are supposed to return to the SPCA after two days but this never happens. Korky Levanon, spokesperson for the Tshwane SPCA, strongly rejected the claims and said they do not bleed animals to death. “It is accepted that from time to time, SPCA branches will be called upon to provide blood donors for local veterinarians. The selected animal must be a healthy animal but already identified to be euthanised.” She confirmed that the animal must be euthanised after blood has been taken and the carcass returned to the SPCA. “The animal must not be bled to death and it may not stay at the clinic for longer than two days.”
Levanon said that according to the Animal Protection Act No. 71 of 1962, it is an offence to cause unnecessary suffering to any ani-mal.
Smit and a colleague, Cheryl-Anne Squires, also claim that the SPCA is in breach of its own policy regarding euthanasia. According to them, animals are being ‘put down’ within 24 hours after being admitted to the SPCA, instead of the required seven days. “In some cases animals are put to sleep as soon as they come through the doors,” said Smit.
Smit is in possession of a voice recording of a telephone conversa-tion between, who she claims is an ex-Tshwane SPCA employee and San-Marie Jacobs from Animal Awareness. The conversation re-volves around a bizarre tale of how a dog owner had been tricked into believing his dog, that was eutha-
nised on the same day it was admit-ted to the Tshwane SPCA, was still alive but already adopted.
The owner allegedly received confirmation from the SPCA that his lost dog was taken in, but was brought under the impression that the dog had been adopted. Accord-ing to what the ex-employee told Jacobs, a photo was staged of the ‘new owner’ and the dog, using the stiff carcass. The ex-SPCA employee confirmed, however, that this was done without the knowl-edge of SPCA management. Rekordis in possession of a copy of the recording.
Managing director of the Tshwane SPCA, Rick Allan, strongly reacted to the claim on Monday and challenged Animal Awareness to come forward with all information pertaining to the alleged incident for him to launch a full investigation. “We consider the allegations in a very serious light,” he said.
Levanon rejected the claims about premature euthanasia and said stray animals are kept for a minimum of seven days before be-ing labelled unwanted, while signed over animals are assessed as soon as possible after admission. She added that the decision to euthanise an animal is not easy and never taken lightly. “The decision to eu-thanise depends on several factors such as age, health, aggression and stress levels.”
Smit said it was possible for the SPCA to avoid issues revolvingaround their blood and euthana-sia policies if they sharpen up their adoption and lost and found systems.

DA-lede, speaker botsDu P Martins
Brandon Topham, die koukusleier van die Demokratiese Alliansie (DA) in die Tshwane-metro, is vir die tweede agter-eenvolgende maandvergadering uit die raadsaal gegooi.
Die vete tussen Topham en Morakane Mosupyoe, speaker, het gedurende die Januarie raadsvergadering ontstaan nadat die speaker Topham ’n spreekbeurt oor die gewraakte wyksraadverkiesingsprosedure ontsê het.
Die DA het daarna ’n mosie van wan-troue teen die speaker ingestel.
Verlede Donderdag se woordewisseling het ontstaan nadat sy op ’n versoek om haarself te verskoon terwyl die mosie be-spreek word, geweier het om dit te doen.
Mosupyoe het Topham beveel om stil te bly.
Hy het geweier en is daarop, net soos die vorige keer, onder begeleiding uit die raadsaal verwyder. Soos in die vorige raadsvergadering, het al die DA-lede ook daarna uitgestap.
Anders as voorheen, het die Vryheids-front Plus se lede hierdie keer bly sit.
Ben Chapman van die DA het Vrydag sterk op die gebeure reageer.
“Die DA se klagstaat teen Mosupyoe, wat volgens die riglyne van die raadsverga-dering bespreek moes word, behels onder meer dat die speaker verskeie versoeke van opposisielede om haar beslissing teen Topham se spreekbeurt, na die Reëls en Etiese Komitee te verwys, geïgnoreer het.
“Die speaker het na bewering belangrike korrespondensie van raadslede geïgnoreer en e-pos-briewe uitgewis sonder om dit te lees. Daarnaas het sy glo ook drie aansoeke vir inligting, wat ingevolge die bepalinge van die inligtingswet gedoen is, uitgewis. Klanktranskripsies het in die termyn van die speaker ook glo verlore geraak,” het hy gesê.
Topham het verder gesê die DA sal nie buig in die geveg met die speaker nie.
“Die aangeleentheid sal nou na die provinsiale regering en moontlik daarna na die nasionale regering deurgevoer word,” het hy gesê.

For most of us it is impossible to imag-ine only having one limb, but for Susan it will be a lifelong battle.
This 8-month-old baby girl was diag-nosed with Amelia at birth.
Amelia is the complete absence of the skeletal parts of the upper or lower limbs, with no bone structure distal to the defect. Susan has total Amelia, and has none of the four limbs others take for granted.
To make matters worse, her mother abandoned her at birth, but thankfully, she is now in a safe and loving home envi-ronment at the Tshwane Place of Safety Association.
Housemother and mother to 15 other foster children, Karen Bruyére, cares for Susan.
Bruyere’s hopes for Susan is that she lives as normal a life as possible despite her disability. The place of safety is solely dependent on donations and with no go-vernment subsidy for any of the children, there is only so much she can do for her daughter.
“Susan is at the age where she is starting to get inquisitive about her surroundings and I don’t feel she should be deprived of this. That’s why we are hoping that she can get a prosthetic arm attached to her one limb,” she said.
Bruyére and Susan have consulted va- rious doctors to discuss the possibility of this.
“We are not yet sure of the costs in-volved, but we can only imagine what it will be. We will try as hard as we can to get the money for it and not get despondent. I believe each child deserves quality of life, not quantity of life,” said Bruyére.
It is hoped that Susan will be able to move around more easily and later on in life when she gets an electric wheelchair, she will be able to commute by herself.
According to Susan’s paediatrician, Dr Elize van Rooyen, she suffers no other disability.
“As far as we can tell at this stage she has no other illness. She can see, hear and is very intelligent and she will do well with at least one limb just to get her going,” she said.
So far Susan’s future has not been de-cided, but Bruyére vowed that she will not allow her to be institutionalised.
“I will care for her for as long as I can and when I’m gone, she has many broth-ers and sisters who will maybe take her in. I am also confident that the home will continue.”
Bruyére said they will continue doing everything possible to raise money for the procedure and believe where there is a will there is a way.

One person was critically injured and five more people, with injuries ranging from less severe to serious, were taken to hospital after three cars collided due to a faulty traffic light.
According to the driver of the one ve-hicles, they were crossing the intersection at the corner of Botha and Cantonments avenues in Lyttelton, just after 20:00 on Friday when the accident happened.
According to the driver, the traffic light was green for them as they crossed the in- tersection, when suddenly the light went dead.
Another vehicle came towards them and collided with his vehicle, a third vehicle tried to avoid the collision and in the pro-cess, lost control and hit a pole next to the road.
The fire brigade extricated passengers from the wreckage of the vehicles and Life Med paramedics started emergency treat-ment on the scene.
A 51-year-old woman had critical inju-ries ranging from head and spinal injuries to lacerations. Life Med paramedics trans-ported her to 1 Military hospital.

The internet has become an integral part in the life of mod-ern man over the past 15 years.
As is the case with cell phones, one cannot even start to comprehend how we were able to function, without these two vital pieces of technology.
The internet caused a revolu-tion in the fields of communica-tion, information, banking and in many other fields. The world of the media has also undergone some significant changes since the inception of the internet.
The internet meant that the media had to reposition itself to remain relevant and competi-tive. New developments in this type of technology meant that every user of a smart phone could gain access to the internet from anywhere in the world from a cell phone. Internet has become highly accessible to everyone. These developments need not be seen as a threat to the printed media. It can instead be used to create exciting new challenges for the local media (of which Rekord forms part), to serve the community.
This is exactly what is going to happen when Rekord be-comes part of Caxton’s exciting new internet product looklocal.co.za on March 20.
Through this new website users will be able to ac-cess any local information by pressing a few buttons.
Looklocal.co.za was developed over the past few months by the team from Moneyweb.
Using the best available tech-nology users could for example find the exact positioning of a breaking news story or be led to other relevant activities by means of a map, which works in conjunction with the Global Positioning System (GPS).
It is predicted that looklocal.co.za will soon be the preferred news website for local users.
Imagine the scenario of a user travelling somewhere with- in the boundaries of the Tshwa-ne metro.
For some or other reason that traveller urgently requires the contact details of the closest po-lice station, emergency service, hospital, school, church or even sport club. By means of his cell phone the traveller can access the looklocal.co.za website and immediately gain access to the information on the website’s extensive information guide.
In this manner the user can save valuable time and money, but can also supply a public service by reporting any prob-lem or even an emergency situa-tion. Local breaking news will also be updated on the website as it happens.
This means that a further benefit of looklocal.co.za will be that users will also be in the know of the latest local news.

140 senior burgers word bioskoop toe geneemDu P Martins
Nagenoeg 140 senior burgers van tehui-se vir bejaardes en aftreeoorde van Centurion, Daspoort, Moot en die mid-destad, is Donderdag deur AfriForum, in samewerking met die Dames 1000-or-ganisasie, na die Centurion-teater geneem
om na die rolprent Semi-soet te kyk. Baie van die seniors was etlike jare laas in ’n bioskoop.
“Ou seun, ek was seker 30 jaar laas in ’n bioskoop. Dit kan nie anders nie, want as jy oud word, moet jy jou pensioentjie dun sny om te kan oorleef. Dan is daar nie plek vir ’n fliek nie,” het een bejaarde
vertel. Dit mag senior burgers wees, maar te oordeel aan die luidrugtige geskater, was dit duidelik dat elkeen die rolprent met sy stuitighede terdeë geniet het.
Selfs na afloop van die rolprent was daar van die vroue wat geboë aangeskui-fel het en een of ander uittreksel uit die rolprent aan haar vriendin verduidelik het.
In die oë van dié vroue was daar nie meer die kommer van jare nie, maar die glans van ’n jong mens wat iets terdeë geniet het.
Dit was die tweede keer dat AfriForum met hul Vat ’n tannie fliek toe-projek be-jaardes van Pretoria na ’n rolprentverto-ning, geneem het.

A rich legacy is taking shape in Centu-rion, where residents of Heritage Hill will be inspired to create a community of com-munal care.
“A true friend and neighbour inspires and challenges you to live bigger, to respect your purest motives and to reach your most important dreams. This is something the pastor at Crossroads Community Church, Dan Reiland, said and it explains the core purpose of Market in the Village,” Rene van der Merwe, co-ordinator of Market in the Village said.
According to Van der Merwe, the people of Heritage Hill, the location of the market, thought it wise to host a Market in the Vil-lage, with the aim to inspire one another and showcase the hidden talents of fellow residents, friends, families and others.
“We trust that it will turn the current re- sidents into a closer knit family,” Van der Merwe said.
According to Van der Merwe, they went back to the fundamentals of village life which included respecting your families, communities and nature, as strong com-munities stick together and look out for one another.
“The bond of a community is regulated by the way the people within the communi-ty care about others who live next to them and take pride in their surroundings,” Van der Merwe said.
A different type of Market in the Village, Heritage Hill Mountain Bike Relay, takes place on March 3 at Heritage Hill, Centu-rion. To enter the mountain bike relay visit www.heritagehillmtb.co.za. Market in the Village invites the community to join in the fun.

Dolfie, Wolfie en Rewolwer is van sy byname en sedert hy die eerste keer in sy oupa se boereorkes opgetree het, het hy nooit weer opgehou nie.
Juan Melvin is van skooldae af ’n be-kende en gevestigde sanger en akteur en het ook die afgelope 15 jaar groot naam vir homself gemaak.
Melvin word onder kunstenaars soos Bobby van Jaarsveld, Nicholis Louw, Kurt Darren en Snotkop gereken.
“Mense vra dikwels hoekom is ek nog nie so bekend nie, dan sê ek party het dit maklik en ander moet harder werk en ek fokus op baie meer as net my sangloop-baan,” het hy gesê.
Sy debuutalbum, Minder Is Meer, is op verskillende vlakke ’n sukses. Vanjaar is daar ’n tweede een, wat ’n groot verrassing inhou, met ’n splinternuwe Melvin.
Melvin woon al sowat 15 jaar in Centu-rion en buiten sy besige kunsteloopbaan, spandeer hy baie tyd aan minderbevoor-regtes. The Juan Melvin Inner Healing Foundation word gedryf deur ’n lewens-lange droom van Melvin om mense in nood te help. Melvin doen dit reeds sedert hy Melvin Models Agentskap in 1998 geopen het en onderrig jonk en oud.
Sy grootste begeerte is om mense wat hoop, liefde, respek en selfvertroue verloor het, toe te rus en in staat te stel om weer te droom. Volgens hom het hy vanjaar groot planne en sy hooffokus is om mense meer bewus te maak van depressie-verwante siektes wat volgens hom, ’n jare lange reeksmoordenaar is.
“Mense is oningelig en depressie neem net te veel mense se lewens. Ek wil veral op bipolêre-steurnis fokus,” het Melvin gesê.
Melvin beoog om landwye seminare en vroueteebyeenkomste te hou. Hy beskryf
homself as iemand wat elke dag leef asof dit sy laaste dag op aarde is, om die lewe voluit te leef en om elke dag te probeer om iemand te laat glimlag. Wat van al die negatiewe aanvalle op hom? “Ek is en was nog nooit ’n engeltjie nie, want dan was ek reeds in die hemel en die skinder-stories, ag nee wat, ek het te veel bekom-mernisse oor my eie lewe om na ander se opinies oor my te luister.

is myne en ek deel dit nie,” het Melvin gesê. Hy is tans besig met die opname van ’n nuwe enkelsnit, ’n lied wat hy self geskryf het en beoog om dit vroeg in Maart vry te stel.
Hy skop sy landwye toer vanjaar by die Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees, wat eersdaags begin, af. Melvin nooi inwoners om sy webtuiste by www.juanmelvin.co.zate besoek.

Waar geloof deur liefde tot dade oor-gaan, is woorde wat die Doornkloof Fami-liekerk die beste beskryf.
Die kerk is een van die oudste ge-meentes in Centurion, gestig in 1978 en geleë in Doringkloof.
Die gemeente is opgewonde oor ’n nuwe projek, die Doornkloof-gemeenskapsen-trum, wat op 1 Maart, in vennootskap met Helpende Hand-organisasie, geopen sal word.
“Die fokus van die sentrum sal wees om die gemeenskap by te staan en te onder-steun, om so ’n verskil te maak,” het ds. Nelis Lindeque gesê.
Volgens ds. Emile Rademeyer het die gemeente drie fokuspunte, naamlik geloofs-groei, familiesorg en om hul gesig na die wêreld te draai.
“Geloof beteken niks as dit nie tot aksie
oorgaan nie,” het Rademeyer gesê.Volgens Rademeyer vorm groeigroepe
die grondslag van die gemeente se bedie-ning.
“Groeigroepe, wat kleingroepe is, wat die Woord van God bestudeer is belangrik in die gemeente, omdat mense so meer van God saam met vriende kan leer,” het Rademeyer gesê.
Daar is vier eredienste op Sondae, twee om 09:00, ’n familiediens, asook ’n kin-dervriendelike diens, ’n Engelse diens om 10:30 en ’n jeuggerigte lofprysingsdiens om 18:30.
Nog ’n hoogtepunt wat die naweek van 20 Maart gaan plaasvind is die kerk se basaar.
Lianie May sal inwoners op 20 Maart vermaak en ’n unieke osbraai sal op 21 Maart van 08:00 af gehou word.

It is alleged that a pupil at Lethabong Secondary School in Soshanguve, north of Pretoria, hanged himself last week, rather than go to school and face the boys who had bullied him.
This has brought the focus sharply on this continuous scourge in our schools. Sui-cide is one of the consequences of bullying. In fact, it is so common in America that a new word has been coined for suicide as a result of bullying, it’s known as ‘bullycide’.
Bullying is a worldwide problem that can have negative consequences for the general
school environment. Bullying can also have negative
lifelong consequences – both for the pupils who bully and for their victims. A recent study indicates that a strong correlation exist between bullying other pupils during the school years and experiencing legal or criminal troubles as adults.
Victims often fear school and consider school to be an unsafe and unhappy place. Bullying can also lead to depression, anxiety, sleepless-ness and psychological problems among school-going children.
A new type of bullying is cyber-bullying, which takes advantage of new technologies such as Face-book, Twitter, Mixit, voice mail and YouTube.
We of course, live in a violent society where brutality has become an everyday occurrence.
The victims are in many instances too scared to speak out because of fear of intimidation and restarting the whole cycle of abuse and bullying.
Whether the bullying is direct or indirect, the key component of bul-lying is that the physical or psycho-logical intimidation occurs repeat-edly over time, to create an ongoing pattern of harassment and abuse. Authorities and parents must act in a firm manner to eradicate this scourge from our schools. There must be definite policies in place so that every child knows what the school’s policy is about bullying and initiation. Effective interven-tion must involve the entire school community rather than focus on the perpetrators and victims alone.
Parents are often unaware of the bullying problems and talk about it to a limited extent with their chil-dren.
EditorialCOMMENT
More corruptionThis column continues where it left off
two weeks ago with the theme that corrup-tion by the state is not something new, but it is as old as history itself.
When we discussed corruption by the Paul Kruger regime in the old Zuid-Afri-kaansche Republic or Transvaal last week, it must be kept in mind that all these things were not done out of mischief or for enrich-ing their own pockets. Most of it was done because they didn’t know any better.
When gold was discovered on the Wit-watersrand, the Transvaal changed from a bankrupt state to the richest spot on earth overnight.
Kruger left himself open to corruption with his concession or monopoly policy because it spawned corruption.
He awarded monopoly concessions to favoured individuals and companies to es-tablish not only factories, but also a whole range of public utilities, such as a state bank, water, gas and electricity supplies, tramways, road repairs and markets.
His critics pointed to the high prices that resulted from monopoly control.
Many concession hunters, moreover, used the system, not to build factories or to provide services but for speculative pur-poses - once in possession of a concession, they hoped to sell it for a profit.
In 1889, the executive council granted a concession to supply Johannesburg with water to Frikkie Eloff, the president’s private secretary and son-in-law, without consulting the Volksraad.
According to Land en Volk newspaper, Eloff was able to make 20 000 pounds ‘without so much as digging a spadeful of earth’.
So noticeable was the miasma of corrup-tion in Pretoria that critics began to refer to the existence of a ‘third Volksraad’ - the collection of businessmen, politicians and officials willing to trade favours for pay-ments.
Kruger’s response to accusations of bribery and corruption was that he saw no harm in anyone receiving a present as long as it did not amount to bribery.

Kry leweJohannes 10:10. Ek het gekom
sodat hulle die lewe kan hê, en dit in oorvloed.
Ek lees weer die aangrypende toe-spraak deur Anna Quindlen, wenner van ’n Pulitzer-prys. Ek haal ’n stukkie aan:
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a manic pursuit of the next promotion, the bigger pay cheque, the larger house. Do you think you’d care so very much about those things if you blew an aneurysm one afternoon or found a lump in your breast?
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. Get a life in which you are generous. And realise that life is the best thing ever, and that you have no business taking it for granted. Care so deeply about its goodness that you want to spread it around. Take money you would have spent on futility and give it to charity. Work in a soup kitchen. Be a big brother or sister. All of you want to
do well. But if you do not do good too, then doing well will never be enough.
Sonder dat ek weet wat Anna Quindlen se geloofsoortuigings is, wil ek sê dat hierdie toespraak suiwer evangelie is. Kry lewe en lewe. Dit, sê Johannes10, is wat Jesus kom doen het. Hy het vir ons lewe gebring en dit in oorvloed. Hoe groot behoefte is daar by die mense van ons land aan iemand wat uitbundig wys dat dit wel moontlik is om in hierdie land en in hierdie tyd in ons land se geskiedenis te lewe?
Is daar ’n beter manier om Jesus te verkondig as om te lewe?
Is daar ’n sterker bewys van die op-standing van Jesus as wanneer sy kinders lewe? Die mens wat lewe praat en lewe doen sal werklik ’n verskil maak.

Hannah writes:I refer to bird lover’s letter (17 Febru-
ary) about shooting hadedas. To answer the question I suspect the
shooter is a first time, sleep deprived mom who hasn’t slept, eaten or brushed her teeth in two weeks.
Heaven knows hadedas are an enormous nuisance when you have a baby who needs to nap during the day.
Since I am not a violent person at all and a huge animal lover of all species including cacophonic birds, there’s no way I’ll ever hurt them.
I have tried, however, to scare them away by making wild, noiseless gestures
(remember my son is asleep) with my arms stretched out in the air, willing them to fly away to somebody like bird lover who will undoubtedly welcome them with open arms.
I have also tried burning incense, plead-ing with them in a soft voice, my hands folded together as if in prayer, but they ignore me.
As I’m on the verge of ambushing these raucous pe(s)ts, I humbly ask bird lover’s advice on the issue.
I also want to invite them to babysit my 2-year-old one evening when he hasn’t slept the whole day. They will soon be praying with me.

Verraaiers is ’n rolprent vol emosionele dinamiet, wat in die diepste wese en die doodge-swygde skandes van die Afrikaner-geskiedenis krap. Dit handel oor keuses wat diensontduikers,joiners of hensoppers tydens die Anglo-Boereoorlog gemaak het en die gevolge daarvan.
Kortweg, ’n lokettreffer. Dis ook ’n rolprent wat ’n
mens laat wonder watter effek ou, oopgekrapte wonde op die hedendaagse kyker sal hê, want daar is nasate wat sal weet dat hul oupagrootjie ’n hensopper was en deur sy eie mense doodgeskiet is. Historiese gegewens oor die verskynsel van boereverraad in ons geskiedenis is skraps.
Moontlik omdat historici, be-dag op die skandvlek en lyding wat dit op nageslagte sou hê, verkies het om dit dood te swyg.
Die uitvoerende vervaardiger, Piet de Jager, het in samewerking met Spier Films Londen, meer as ’n jaar gelede met die beplanning van Verraaiers begin. Hy was ook die vervaardiger van Roepman,wat ses nominasies, insluitende beste rolprent vir 2012, ontvang het. De Jager het gesê daar is diep in die geskiedenis gedelf om te verseker dat dít wat die kyker sien, hom in die tydsgewrig en problematiek van keuses wat gemaak is, sal kan verplaas.
“Ons is terdeë bewus dat verraad, selfs vandag nog, ’n sensitiewe onderwerp is en daar sal seker diegene wees wat vir my kwaad gaan wees en ander wat
Film krap diep Afrikanerwonde weer oopdit sal waardeer. Juis vanweë die sensitiwiteit het ons op ’n fiktiewe storie besluit en probeer ons met empatie die gebeure uitbeeld,” het hy gesê.
Rekord het gaan kyk hoe van die tonele by die Willem Prinsloo-museum geskiet word.
Opvallend was die intensiewe navorsing wat gedoen is om ’n lewensgetroue beeld te skep.
Daar is by verskillende mu-seums rondgekrap om die regte toerusting, kleredrag en gebruiks-goedere op die stel te hê.
Van onskatbare waarde was die raad van Elrea Wessels, senior navorser van die Vrouemonument in Bloemfontein, wat self op die stel was om haar te vergewis dat alles lewensgetrou is.
Van die rekwisiete soos die dodesel, poskantoor en winkeltjie, kompleet met sy eietydse negosie-ware, is replikas van wat werklik bestaan het.
Met die skiet van een van die tonele by ’n bruilof met die lan-dau’s en spaaiders en die gekraai van ’n hoenderhaan en gekloek van kalkoene, was dit net die film- en klanktoerusting wat ’n mens herinner het dat dit ’n rolprent, en nie die ware Jakob is, nie.
Die verhaal van Verraaiers is gebaseer op die feitelike gege-wens van Albert Blake se boek, Boereverraaiers.
Dit speel af teen die agter-grond van die Anglo-Boereoorlogen die verskroeide aarde beleid van Kitchener en mense wat moedeloos met die oorlog geword het. Dit handel oor ’n komman-dant en sy skoonseuns wat almal
op kommando is en daarna besluit om die wapens neer te lê.
“In die rolprent werk ons met die redes vir keuses en ons kyk met empatie na die standpunte van hensoppers en bittereinders. Die regsintrige en hofverrigtinge het verskeie hoeke. Die oordeel van wat die regte of verkeerde beslissings is, los ons aan die kyker oor,” het De Jager gesê.
Die regie word deur die deur-winterde regisseur Paul Eilers behartig. Die hoofspelers is Rika Sennet, Gys de Villiers, Andrew Thompson, Jacques Bessinger en Neil Bennet. Verraaiers sal na verwagting 13 Februarie 2013 vrygestel word.
Die winkeltjie, kompleet met sy weegskaal, is ’n presiese weergawe van ’n winkel wat tydens die Anglo-Boereoorlog bestaan het.

Sempre Opera, a non-profit organi-sation aiming to bring quality opera to a broader audience, is launching on March 10 at the Atterbury Theatre and at the Roodepoort ProMusica Theatre on March 24.
It offers South African audiences the opportunity to experience profound opera, according to its founder, Stefan Louw.
The aim of the company is to create an opportunity for opera singers to practice their art through exceptional full-length operas to a variety of audiences.
Louw is a recognised leading tenor in South Africa and has performed world-wide since 1999.
He studied music at the University of Pretoria in 1993 and began his career in 1995 at the Pretoria State Theatre Opera Chorus. He made his international debut in 2008 at the Vichy Opera and the Djion Opera in France.
Louw has now become a voice of the opera genre, driven by his passion to bring opera to a larger South African audience.
He regularly writes a column, called OperaSmalls in CitiVibe, the entertain-ment section of a daily newspaper, aiming to educate audiences on the possibilities
opera has to offer. He believes opera is the ‘root of all
music’ and still relates to relevant political and social issues today.
Louw believes opera is able to adapt to the age we live in and become more modern in its presentation.
Sempre Opera was founded in March 2011. He explained that the members have taught themselves to do all the work for a production, such as marketing, rehearsals, costumes and more, which serves to give opera singers the opportu-nity to establish and expose themselves to their market.
The company is self-funded and money earned at the concerts goes towards it.
Sempre, meaning ‘always’ in Ital-ian, is ideally named after the vision of the company. The company consists of established, professional opera singers who aim to promote opera throughout the country. It travels to various regions in South Africa, taking the performances to small theatres in the country to educate audiences on the fundamentals of opera.
Louw believes opera in South Africa has become complacent. There is not ad-equate funding for opera in South Africa and through the Sempre Opera initiative, he hopes to create an opera market.
Tickets are available at Computicket.
The State Theatre presents the Jazz and African Music Nights in March.
The performances kick off with a per-formance by Tlokwe Sehume accompanied by the African Renaissance Jazz Band, on March 2.
Sehume had performed and collaborated with some of the country’s top musicians, including Vusi Mahlasela, Pops Moham-med, McCoy Mrubata, the late Zim Ngqa-wana and Hugh Masekela.
His first album, Naga Ya Fisa, won the Sama Award for Best Sepedi Album in 2001 and he received a further two nomina-tions for his second album, Ba Utlwile.
His third album, a collection of live per-formances, is called Mmino wa Thaba.
He had toured and performed in India, Cameroon, Hungary, France, Germany and Italy. Sehume holds workshops around the country through his Medu Promotions, educating and empowering potential musi-cians about indigenous music instruments, craftsmanship and its relation to intellectual property. The African Renaissance Jazz Band was founded and fronted by a BA degree graduate, Thys van Rooyen.
His interest in music started at an early age when he learnt to play the penny whis-
tle in the 1960’s. He enjoys various music genres, but his passion is mostly Afro Jazz and Gospel.
His band performs at corporate func-tions, birthday parties, weddings, funerals and cultural festivals.
He also writes original poetry with the history and cultural heritage of his Khoisan ancestry as the background.
His band members are creative musi-cians with a professional sound who play original music for any age group.
A performance by the African Jazz Pio-neers and Lawrence Moloisi is also on the programme. In the early 1950’s, Bra Ntemi and his Alexandra All Star band hit the cutting edge of South Africa’s music scene, blending American big band sound with traditional Majuba tempo’s and Marabi influences. They enjoyed enormous success and had a huge following.
Sadly, all this came to an end in the late sixties with the demolition of Sophiatown, when big bands went out of fashion.
In June 1981 Bra Ntemi decided it was time to reunite old musicians again and get them back on stage. African Jazz Pioneers was formed and their first performance was at a church in Alexandra.
The Reel Thing musical production is bringing some of the silver screen’s most magical moments to life.
This musical features a host of talented dancers and singers who will be perform-ing classic hits from Star Wars and War of the Worlds, awe-inspiring medleys from Saturday Night Fever, Grease and Mamma Mia and big screen favourites from Top Gun, Risky Business and Back To
The Future.The Reel Thing takes the audience on a
whirlwind tour through a variety of cinema genres and also features musical hits from animated films such as Madagascar and Shrek.
The grand finale of the show covers all musical bases and ends off with popular hits from two-time Oscar winner, Fame.
The Reel Thing is a fast moving pro-
duction with beautiful costumes, thrilling music and an extremely talented cast.
It is sure to be a fantastic show for the whole family.
The show takes place from February to March at the Carousel Casino and Enter-tainment World’s Cheyenne Saloon.
Tickets are available at Computicket. Enquiries: The Carousel Casino on 012-
718-7282.

Since the age of 7, Owen Cilliers, a grade 8 pupil at Sutherland High School, has been collecting medals in the wrestling ring. When asked how many medals he had al- ready won, he replied with a grin: “I cannot keep count.” Recently he represented his club at the Schools’ Wrestling Week tourna-ment held on the Island of Reunion and re- turned home with an impressive trophy for first place in his weight division. Under the guidance of his father, a former wrestler himself, Cilliers took on this physically chal- lenging sport with passion. He now com-petes in the u.15 years, u.46kg division.
The Doxa Deo ‘Ripples’, the name given to their grade 8 pupils, enjoyed their athletics tournament recently.
Hoërskool Centurion in samewerking met Werner Tome, eienaar van Hawk Lake Spur, het ’n spesiale projek van stapel gestuur waartydens die skoolhoof Wouter Burger en lede van die Woerie-personeel as kelners vir ’n aand opgetree het om so vir die Woe- ries se netbalfonds geld in te samel. Die personeel moes behoorlik rondskarrel om die ouers en hul kinders te bedien tot groot ver-maak van almal in dié alombekende restaurant. Adri van Rooyen van die Woeries en Tome glimlag breed na ’n rowwe aand.

Die Assupol Super-klubreeks met ’n totaal van 1 760 deelnemende spelers is deesdae amptelik die grootste amateur rugbytoernooi in Suid-Afrika.
Met hierdie feit in gedagte het Gert Wessels, uitvoerende direkteur van bemarking by die Assupol verseker-ingsmaatskappy, die belangrikheid van dié toernooi beklemtoon toe vanjaar se Super-klubreeks onlangs amptelik in Centurion bekendgestel is.
Die Assupol Super-klubreeks word jaarliks aan die begin van die seisoen aangebied as ’n toernooi vir die top 16
oop klubs van die rugbyunies noord van die Vaalrivier. Dit sluit die Blou Bulle, die Leeus, die Valke, die Luiperds, die Pumas en Limpopo in.
Wessels het ’n pleidooi gelewer dat Saru en al die groot rugbyunies weer moet kyk na klubrugby en veral die oorle- wing en uitbou van rugby by oop klubs. Terwyl die Varsitybekertoernooi won-dere doen vir universiteite, is daar nie ’n soortgelyke nasionale reeks vir oop klubs nie en Assupol probeer om hierdie leemte met hul betrokkenheid by die Super-klub- reeks te oorbrug.
“Skoolverlaters moet weer besef dat daar ’n rugbylewe is na skool en dat
almal nie noodwendig by universiteite betrokke hoef te raak om top klubrugby te kan speel nie,” het Wessels gesê.
Hy het beklemtoon dat die standaard van rugby in hierdie toernooi so hoog is dat enige van die twee finaliste in verlede jaar se toernooi (Roodepoort en Centu-rion) maklik hul man sou staan teen enige van die top spanne in die Varsitybeker-toernooi.
Die Assupol Super-klubreeks skop op 3 Maart af.
Polisie, Centurion, Harlequins en die Silver Valke verteenwoordig die Blou Bulle vanjaar.

Koos Venter
Daar is vooraf bladsye vol geskryf oor al die topspelers wat Loftus Versfeld verlaat het, oor Heyneke Meyer se ontydige vertrek as direkteur van rugby en oor die nuwe pienk truie vir wegwedstryde.
Al hierdie faktore en gepaard-gaande bangmaakstories het blyk-baar by Frans Ludeke, Pierre Spies en die Vodacom Bulls se span van 2012 verbygegaan, want Vrydag-aand het hulle die seisoen puik begin met ’n vasbytvertoning en ’n 18-13-oorwinning teen die omge-krapte Sharks, wat vooraf beskou is as Suid-Afrika se spogspan in vanjaar se SupeRugby-toernooi.Die Bulls het inderdaad deur hul algehele vertoning gewys dat hulle dalk net die verrassingspakket van die toernooi kan wees. Die jong en nuwe spelers in die groep het puik by die gevestigde en ervare manne ingepas en dit was juis die wyse waarop die Bulls gespeel het, wat ondersteuners moed sou gee vir die res van die toernooi.
Die Sharks het Pretoria toe ge-kom met ’n puik span wat 12 inter-nasionale spelers, 11 Springbokke en een Fransman, ingesluit het. Die Bulls was egter ’n onbekende fak-tor met jong manne en baie minder ervaring as die manne van Durban. Die wyse waarop die Bulls egter die basiese dinge op die veld reg kon doen en hoe hulle die Sharks voorlangs oorheers het, sou deur-winterde Bulls-ondersteuners moed gee vir die seisoen wat voorlê.
Die Bulls en die Sharks het ook gewys dat daar min ander spanne is met soveel ondersteuners soos hulle. Met die loting waarvolgens hulle die eerste agt wedstryde van die toernooi in Suid-Afrika sal speel (vyf op Loftus Versfeld), sal die Bulls ook die geleentheid hê om hul nuwe kombinasies goed te vestig, voor hulle in Australië en Nieu-Seeland gaan toer.
Die Bulls se afrigters sal egter moet kopkrap om die beseerde buitesenter, Johann Sadie, vir die volgende paar weke te vervang.
Sadie het blykbaar sy skouer beseer en is na net 13 minute in Vrydag se wedstryd teen die Sharks van die veld af.
As Wynand Olivier hierdie week reg is, sal hy waarskynlik Saterdag buitesenter teen die Cheetahs speel.
Andersins sal daar na Zane Kirchner gekyk word, terwyl Jur-gen Visser waarskynlik heelagter sal speel.
Die Bulls se woelige loskopstut, Dean Greyling, het Vrydagaand teen die Sharks weer gewys dat hy ’n waardevolle baldraer op die veld kan wees. Hier dryf hy vorentoe met Werner Kryger en Deon Stegmann byderhand om te ondersteun. Foto: simondp@actionimage
Jong bloed vul ervare spelers goed aan
Die Sharks-ondersteunersklub van Pretoria het vanjaar sommer vroeg begin met een van die hoogtepunte van hul sosiale kalender.
Dié klub, wat reeds ’n paar honderd betaalde lede het, kon dit regkry om Vrydagaand na afloop van die SupeRugby-wedstryd tussen die Bulls en die Sharks die spelers van hul gunstelingspan by ’n hotel in Pretoria te onthaal.
Omdat die wedstryd eers teen 21:00 afgehandel is, het die funksie baie laat plaasgevind, maar vir elke ondersteuner van die Sharks wat dit bygewoon het, was dit die moeite werd om so lank te wag om hul helde te ontmoet.
Toe die spelers uiteindelik op-daag, is daar heerlik gekuier, foto’s geneem en handtekeninge gejag.
Die klub het ook hul eie speler-van-die-wedstryd gekies en dié eer het die Springbokvleuel, JP Petersen, te beurt geval.
Hy is met ’n spesiale trofee be-loon.
Plaaslike ondersteuners van die Sharks wat belangstel om aan te sluit by dié klub, is welkom om navraag te doen.
Die seisoen is nog lank en daar is nog heelwat bedrywighede wat vir hulle voorlê tot aan die einde van die jaar.
Navrae: 076-045-8720.
Ondersteuners hang uit vir Durban-manne
Estelle Henderson, een van die komiteelede van die Sharks-ondersteunersklub van Pretoria, geniet die geselskap van drie van die Sharks se staatmakerspelers. Van links is Jaques Botes, die man wat Vrydagaand die enigste drie gedruk het in die SupeRugby-wedstryd teen die Bulls, Charl McLeod en Meyer Bosman.
Volgens tradisie kies die Sharks-ondersteunersklub na elke wedstryd van hul span
’n speler-van-die-wed-stryd. Vrydagaand
het hul keuse op die Springbokvleuel, JP
Petersen, geval. Petersen se toe-kenning is aan
hom deur Serah Cook, een van die
bestuurslede van die Sharks-ondersteu-
nersklub van Pretoria oorhandig.
Sy is dalk fisies klein, maar in haar hart is sy een van die Sharks se grootste onder-steuners in Pretoria. Wiona Leonard word verdwerg deur drie groot voorspelers van die Sharks. Van links is Dale Chadwick, Craig Burden en Ryan Kankowski.

Titans weer op dreefKoos Venter
Die Nashua Titans het die afge-lope naweek twee puik oorwinnings behaal in die nasionale MiWay Pro20-toernooi, wat hul posisie tot die tweede plek op die punteleer laat verstewig het.
Hiermee het die manne in ligblou gewys dat hulle baie diepte het en hulle steeds een van die gunstelinge behoort te wees om hierdie reeks te wen, ten spyte daarvan dat topspelers soos die Morkel-broers, AB de Vil-liers en Faf du Plessis tans saam met die Proteas in Nieu-Seeland toer.
Die Titans het boonop nog een wedstryd minder gespeel as die Knights, wat net drie punte voor hulle op die punteleer is.
Vrydagaand in Durban het die Titans in ’n spannende wedstryd die Dolphins se telling van 167 met die laaste bal van die wedstryd verbyge-steek om met ses paaltjies te wen.
Jacques Rudolph was die groot held van hierdie wedstryd met sy 62 onoorwonne lopies van net 55 bal- le.
Hy is in daardie laaste spannende boulbeurte ook goed bygestaan deur David Wiese, wat 21 lopies van net
tien balle gemoker het. Dit het twee viere en ’n ses ingesluit.
Sondag se held teen die Impi’s in Benoni was die ou staatmaker, Roelof van der Merwe, wat weer gewys het dat die nasionale keur-ders waarskynlik té vinnig van hom vergeet het.
Hy het eers die Impi’s se kolforde vernietig deur drie paaltjies te vat én ’n aandeel te hê in die uithardloop van Siya Simetu, voordat hy op nom-mer drie gaan kolf het vir die Titans, waar hy 30 lopies van 20 balle ge-slaan het.
Die Titans, met Rudolph en Van der Merwe voor die penne en net een paaltjie plat, het die Impi’s se teiken reeds in die 16e boulbeurt verby-gesteek vir ’n oorwinning met nege paaltjies.
Rudolph se telling was 47, terwyl Henry Davids ook 55 bygedra het.
Die Titans speel Woensdag teen die Knights in Bloemfontein, waarna hulle die naweek twee wedstryde afhandel.
Vrydag kom die Lions in Centu-rion aan die beurt en Sondag speel hulle teen die Cape Cobras in Kaap-stad, wanneer die tweede rondte van die reeks begin.
